I just used some electrical tape. Laid it on wide, then used the X-acto blade to get good, smooth radius trim around the roof and a-pillars.

Thanks!

Had time today to get the bumpers installed and put the decals on. Still need to get some mirrors put on and get a Bomber interior painted up.

Hey, thanks! Wheels were originally on my VS4-10, but I thought they looked better on the TRX-4 with the Canyon Tires.

So I was reading about sway bar and how it works specifically for the rear end and decided to give it a try for my defender, so i bought the shock hoop with the panhard link and lower mounts for the rear, same exact setup for the front but im gonna use it on the back hopefully it works, i'll post pics once the setup is done.

Attended the crawl for cancer event put on by SRDLV out here yesterday. We had crappy weather, even got snowed on, but a whole lot of people showed up. First time I did a poker run which was cool.

Here’s a short clip from the event. The line up of trucks was staggering

Well it was time for my boy to do his first upgrade to his Bronco. I'm letting him roll with his own list of upgrades for it. After all it's his. He really loved this hot racing bumper and wants to install a winch on it soon. On order is a matching rear bumper, so he's waiting somewhat patiently for it, lol.

Saw the Instagram posts Danza. Crawling looked awesome and so did the attendance! Would liked to have been there - great event for a great cause!

Got the lights installed. I decided to put the lights on the bumpers because I didn't want to have to worry about unplugging them every time I took the body off. Also wanted to keep as much weight of the body as possible.

I plan on running this in this years Team KNK TTC 6. Last year there were so many trucks that I didn't get my run in till almost midnight. So these lights should work out well.

B-MOW71, what width hubs are you using on those wheels to achieve that stance? I'm assuming some kind of SLW hub, correct?

Yes, they are a SLW. These hubs are VP 475's. I normally run a 350. These were already bolted to these wheels that I had on another rig, so I left them on. I may keep them on. The stance looks good.
I have not measured the total width yet. If it is too wide for comp gates, then I will put the 350's on.

This should keep me busy this weekend! Finally got all my Samix brass. Ordered snorkel and mirror set for the Sport body as well.

Added ssd wheel hexes, Mickey Thompson hub covers, and hacked on the body to get better tire clearance for the voodoos..
